Thomas Aquinas: Selected Commentaries
(Two-Volume Bundle)
List Price: $59.90 $37 (38% OFF + FREE U.S. Shipping!)
Thomas Aquinas’s Old Testament commentaries remain some of his most neglected writings due partly to the widely varying quality of both the commentaries themselves and their English translations, which often retain the terseness and opacity of the original Latin manuscripts. Nevertheless, Thomas’s corpus of Old Testament commentaries contains some of his finest biblical exegesis and theology. Within them, we find dimensions of his thought and literary personality that do not appear in any of his other writings.
Together with its companion volume, Thomas Aquinas: Selected Commentaries on the New Testament, this volume of Old Testament commentaries offers a curated introduction to Thomas’s biblical commentaries, suitable for newcomers, students, and scholars alike.

NEW BOOK DEAL- $27.96 (20% OFF + FREE US Shipping!): We're also excited to announce the launch of "Thinking Through Aquinas"! Renowned theologian Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt attempts to both think through the arguments contained in the theology of Thomas Aquinas and then apply that theology to the questions that confront theologians in our own day. Bauerschmidt discusses Thomas’s understanding of the nature of theology and of God; his reflections on virtue, vice, and the moral life; and his theology of Christ, the Church, and the Sacraments. In "Thinking Through Aquians", Thomas is brought into dialogue with figures ranging from Michel Foucault to Flannery O’Connor, Jonathan Lear to Ignacio Ellacuría, Stanley Hauerwas to St. John Paul II. Add this illuminating deep dive into the thought and theology of Aquinas to your order today and get 20% off!
